Day 3 Challenge: Transformation Tuesday - Take a card you've made in the past and transform it in some way.
Old Version: I made this card sometime last summer and never liked it and it's been sitting here ever since, so this is a perfect card for me to transform! I watercolored the background with a few colors. Happy Birthday is die-cut in white and black cardstock and layered for a shadow effect. I added a layer of black cardstock over a white card base and some splashes of black paint.
New Version: I decided to go with different colors and use pattern paper for the background. I placed a piece of green Ombre Stripes paper over a white cardstock card base. Happy Birthday is die-cut in gold adhesive paper and adhered to a piece of vellum, die-cut with a scalloped circle.
The balloons were die-cut in Simply Chartreuse cardstock and adhered with foam tape for dimension. I attached white crochet thread for the strings and tied them with a bow. To make the card a little more festive looking, I added a bunch of gold star sequins. I'm much happier with this look and it's a little trendier with the gold.
